This exact shit happened to me over a Christmas break about 10 years ago. I was the last apt at the end of a building. The pipe clogged just past my place and all of the buildings shit overflowed into my house. ALL THE CARPET was soaked and had to be disposed of. Was a shitty time.

This is why I wish our bathrooms were built with some sense. Why not make the whole bathroom tile? Why not have a drain in the middle of the room? Why not have a tile lip in the doorway, so no water can escape?

Cleaning a bathroom like this would be so easy, just take a damn hose to it.

i dont now what spell you just put on me but after reading your comment on the toilet, i flushed and water started spraying out of one of the pipes. i shit you not. now i have to deal with this and i hope you are happy MY_LITTLE_ORIFICE

I was thinking the same thing...my sewer line is fucked i cant take showers, can't do the laundry, can't wash dishes for more than 30 minutes...it sucks. I rent and im hoping they don't make us leave while they fix it. My wife runs a home daycare and we cannot afford to lose our customers over some bullshit like this...

I actually saw a "Holmes on Homes" episode a few days ago where they put something in the sewer line of a house they were redoing with a flap that will automatically close if the flow comes in the other direction from the street to prevent the backup from going into the house.

This happens a lot more than people think.

I remember seeing it as a line item on my home insurance as well, so there must be plenty of claims for it.

This happened to a friend of mine. She was in a 15 story building and in the bottom flat (ground floor was a lobby). There was some problem with the plumbing and so when everyone flushed their toilets all the water started backing up and coming out of the first available escape route... her main toilet.

She went to work one day and came home to sewage water running down the stairs up to her flat. So much stuff had backed up that it had overflowed the lip of the bathroom spilled out, filled the living room and overflowed the lip of the main doorway and down the hall and down the stairs.

I have no idea how she remained calm enough to stay in there and literally hand mop or scoop into buckets the water to get rid of it. The landlord then sent round a normal cleaner to clean, not a professional cleaner just a standard maid you would hire for day to day help. She had to basically threaten legal action against him to get him to send in a proper specialist cleaning crew to disinfect and clean the entire apartment.

It was still coming out the toilet every time someone flushed on a higher floor I think this was just survival mode and thinking, lets get rid of the shitewater and hopefully some stuff will be salvageable. She literally stayed up all night until the plumber could come the next morning (she got home from work very late like 10pm that night to this).
